My son is the envy of all his 2nd grade classmates with this sharpener. Yes, they are cheap and can break - but he's likely to lose it anyway. The price point is worth getting a few to have around. Works great.

I bought these pencil sharpeners for my students. As elementary school students ofter drop items, these were no exception. When they fell out of the desks the sharpener separated from the lid. I had to glue about 10 of them using super glue. So far so good. I'm hoping the glue works. The children say they work well and they like them. Still waiting to see if I'd buy them again.
